An aged pilot told me he survived training on Meteors including numerous extremely dangerous practice single engined landings. Posted to an operational squadron he asked tentatively after a couple of weeks whether he ought not to do some practice SE landings to stay current. He was told, "Christ no! They are bloody lethal. We always do a power-off glide approach - that way it doesn't matter if the engine fails."
